Since my boyfriend and I's schedule can get a bit crazy, I realized how quickly time was passing and I needed to secure a special date, for a much desired FRIENDSGIVING. We've hosted tapas and picnic style parties but never a dinner party. I also wanted to take on the challenge of making the turkey! I've seen it done a bunch of times, but I always partake on baking duties. Fortunately for me, my sister Sylvia had made the RECIPE POST last year, and gotta say she was a great s

With just two days away from it being officially fall, you already know my family and I are ready! Well, almost. We are adding the finishing touches to the corners of the house. Lastly we have our french country themed kitchen, luckily it's not hard to "fall out" a farmhouse table and kitchen. We've hit up our favorite market, TRADER JOE'S and picked up their seasonal "Fantasy Gourds". Even Miami get's a chance to fulfill their fall dreams. It works ten times better when you

Sylvi's Rainbow & Unicorn themed 4th Birthday Party *This Blog Post has been updated w/ helpful links for party supplies as of 2019 I can’t believe another year has come and gone and my oldest is now 4…time really does fly! And I feel it flying faster ever since I started having kids. I ABSOLUTELY love everything having to do with kiddie parties and celebrations! Having a boy and a girl, I definitely get to play around with different themes and ideas, and love a fun challenge

So I'm walking into a home decor store, and I see these giant peonies, that I happen to have at home from all my flower crown making, and I notice it had been turned into a napkin ring holder! They were absolutly gorgeous and nice mix of them on an Easter Sunday brunch would be great for my mother and sister. So I thought, let me save my money, and have a little fun doing a DIY. Below is an easy pictorial to recreate a bushel of them, enjoy! -MATERIALS NEEDED- [all can be fo

My mother has been wanting a little coffee & tea station in the loft area of the house for some time. She has always our home cozy and comfy. So over time my sister and I have picked up these habits as well, and ofcourse we swoon over stores like Pottery Barn, Anthropology, and Resotration Hardware. They are our decor spirit animals if you must. So as the "holiday bug" has been creeping on all of us, so have some little house projects. After pinning some ideas, and finding so

The start of the holiday season is officially among us as we begin to celebrate the start of fall and halloween this month, and we couldn’t be anymore excited. Fall is one of those seasons that brings warmth and comfort with every detail, and there’s nothing more special than bringing those details to your home. I’m totally into seasonal decor with one of my favorites being fall, and one things for sure, nothing screams fall more than clusters of pumpkins, autumn leaves and c

It’s pumpkin overload at my house, which can only mean one thing…fall is in full effect! Everywhere you turn, whether it be through an apple or pumpkin scented candle, some kind of pumpkin décor or a little candy dish holding candy corn…are all little pieces of fall! I am one of those who loves for all of my senses to be touched when I walk through a door, so by decorating, especially for the changing seasons and holidays, I know that my family is experiencing the same thing,

One of my absolute favorite trends for home decorating is currently styling accent tables. Yea, you heard right! Styling coffee tables, console tables, dining tables… I think you get the picture. This might sound a little strange but once you get the hang of styling tables, you’ll understand that there is a certain method that designers use when decorating a home and it all has to do with balance.
